Nov 18: The Barberettes!

What's this? Me, out and about with my camera on a weekday? Yes, it's true. And are those ladies wearing Santa hats in mid November? Yes that's true too. This is the Barberettes, otherwise know as the Reading Ladies Barbershop Singers, having a great time entertaining the shoppers on the late night opening at the Oracle shopping centre. So, what was I doing there? Well, my Mum sings with them. She's not in shot, as she's too tall and has to sing from the back. :-( What do thay sound like? Well I'm no barbershop expert, as you can tell by my (lack of a) haircut, but I thought they sounded great!


other sizes: small medium original auto

A barberette from Reading was a contestant on the Johnny Walker prog this evening (5-7). I wonder if she was in this picture?

David, this is a great shot! I wish I could have heard them.

I'm laughing at Ray's comment, cause I had scanned the META earlier, and didn't see anything really, but I saw YOUR name at the top of my favs and wondered what gallery you must have posted, cause I thought I would have recognized a Mingay piece in the Meta....Surely THIS festive, colorful, street performer type of shot wasn't YOURS!

But it IS and it's COOL!!

What a very nice photo! They all look so enthusiastic, the lighting is great and their outfits sparkle. Your mom must be proud.
